A couple weeks ago my ED app to a T14 was waitlisted, which was pretty puzzling to me given the information I mentioned in the title. I have one soft that I think folks here would say falls under the "better than average, but not AMAZING" category, based on my TLS searches on softs. No work experience.

Any idea what's going on here?? Is it my soft that is saving me from the reject pile? Do you think I even have a shot? If given the chance to attend, I would JUMP for the opportunity, I am beginning to send LOCIs and planning my visit. Just wanted some input!

And "humble brag" is the absolute dumbest concept I've ever heard from a relatively educated/intelligent people.Once you stop being so insecure, other people's bragging ceases to be something you have to point out.

Dig this post for its high horseyism coupled with bashing educated people while also making a grammatical mistake in the same sentence.

The point wasn't proper grammar or to "bash educated people". The concept is silly, and you know it.

The humble brag concept is actually helpful. It comes out when there is a logical disconnected in what someone is asking. People are not just pointing out an obvious brag; they are answering the question, "why is this person asking this question?"
